Abstract

Romania, almost the entire territory meets the favorable conditions for winter wheat crop, but in recent years due to problems with crop establishment in autumn, is still remain a growing area that would be available for spring crops. Another consideration for the spring wheat area of land would earn would be that in our country there are mountain areas at high altitudes, with unfavorable conditions for winter wheat crop, where winters exceed 4-5 months yearly, or dry climates with harsh winters without snow cover. It is known that spring wheat yielded less than winter wheat, after our previous studies about 20-30% smaller production and it is due to the shorter period of vegetation, about 120 days, compared with winter wheat which has 265 days. Areas occupied by spring wheat in our country are small.
